"Back then, the Japanese invaded my Daming Sea Frontier, so my grandfather issued a sea ban order to put an end to the Japanese troubles, so as to ensure that the coastal people were peaceful. Nature"

Seeing that Youlan reported to her home, Li Hongyu looked at her after a deep sigh, and solemnly said his opinion on the sea smuggler:

"It's a pity that Grandpa Tai thought too simply, the ban of 'not allowing an inch board to go to the sea' not only led to the closure of the Daming sea route, but also made the coastal people live in hardship, and in order to make a living, they went to the sea to trade with Nanyang privately, although the crime is unforgivable but excusable."

Youlan was stunned when she heard this, her eyes showed a look of surprise, everyone in the Ming Dynasty thought that the people engaged in the sea smuggling business were pirates, and they hated it for this reason, and they never expected Li Hongyu to be so generous.

"The gentleman is broad-minded, and the little woman admires it very much!"

From Li Hongyu's serious expression, Youlan realized that Li Hongyu was not perfunctory to her, and suddenly felt warm in her heart, and said coquettishly to Li Hongyu Yifu.

If it weren't for the fact that they were forced to do this, who would have made a living with their heads pinned to their belts, and who would have lost their lives at any time, but the world did not understand the plight of these maritime merchants, so they were hostile to them.

Of course, as the maritime smuggling business was controlled and divided among various powers, its nature gradually changed, and it became a way for some people to make profits.

But in any case, the root cause of the prosperity of the maritime smuggling business is the imperial court's ban on the sea, and Li Hongyu can clearly realize this, and Ling Youlan feels quite relieved in his heart.

"That's true, I'm just telling the truth."

Li Hongyu shook his head when he heard this, then looked at Youlan intently and said, "Today, the imperial court has realized the disadvantages of the sea ban, so it has opened the overseas trade led by the Customs Department, which will not only benefit the country and the people, but also benefit tens of millions of coastal people, but it is just ......"

"It's just that a maritime merchant like your father will be greatly impacted, and no one is willing to give up the benefits in his hands, not to mention that there are many people who were born and died with him, and it will be very difficult for the imperial court's overseas trade to be carried out smoothly."

As he spoke, Li Hongyu paused and asked in a deep voice, "Isn't this your father's intention to send you to Master Li?" I want to use beauty to confuse Mr. Li, and then make a profit from it! ”

"Mr. is well-read, not only has profound attainments in music, rhythm, calligraphy and painting, but also knows a lot about the affairs of the DPRK and China, and the little girl has been taught." Youlan looked at Li Hongyu in surprise, then showed a look of shame on her face, and bowed respectfully to Li Hongyu.

She thought that Li Hongyu was just obsessed with folk lyrics and songs, but through today's conversation, she was stunned to see that Li Hongyu also had a very thorough understanding of the court situation, which made her feel shocked and respected Li Hongyu more and more.

The reason why Youlan did not refute Li Hongyu was because what Li Hongyu said was the truth, and her father really hoped that he could use her to ensure the normal conduct of maritime business, at least to get the news of the customs department in order to respond, and if possible, to help him subdue other maritime merchant groups with the help of the customs department.

Therefore, Youlan could not refute Li Hongyu's words, otherwise she could only bring humiliation on herself.

"I don't dare to be knowledgeable, I'm just a prodigal son who wanders the rivers and lakes, I have heard people talk about it, and I just pick up people's teeth."

Seeing this, Li Hongyu hurriedly waved his hand, his previous remarks were out of line enough, and they did not match his identity as a talent, so of course he would not admit that he understood government affairs.

It is worth mentioning that all "talents" are basically frustrated in the imperial examination, and usually they are not even admitted to the meritorious examination, and people like Tang Bohu who are admitted to Xie Yuan are rare, so they can concentrate on making achievements in the field of art, which also makes them not interested in political affairs.

Therefore, Li Hongyu not only wanted to show Youlan his views on the maritime smuggling syndicate and gain Youlan's favor and trust, but also avoided showing his mastery of government affairs, so as not to arouse suspicion.

"Mr. is too modest, and there are very few people who can have Mr.'s insight." Youlan couldn't help but smile when she heard this, even if Li Hongyu's remarks were heard, it was very rare to be able to accept it, proving that he was a very enlightened person.

"Youlan...... Miss Yuexin, I don't know where this ship is going? Seeing a beautiful smile blooming on Youlan's face, Li Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief in his case, and then raised the question in his heart.

"We're going to Xiaoliuqiu, where we'll be very safe." Youlan smiled when she heard this, and then said to Li Hongyu, "If you don't mind, you can continue to call me 'Youlan', I like this name a lot." ”

"Little Liuqiu?" Li Hongyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, but he didn't expect that since Youlan and the sturdy young man were from Xiaoliuqiu, because they were separated by the Yingzhou Strait, it was the place where the Ming Dynasty's control was weakest, and it was known as the paradise and paradise of pirates.

Subsequently, Li Hongyu secretly rejoiced in his heart, Xiaoliuqiu is undoubtedly the base camp of pirates, and it is also the base of sea smugglers, and there is nothing better to understand the situation of sea smugglers than going deep into the tiger's den.

"Little Ryukyu" refers to Taiwan, during the Yuan Dynasty, Taiwan and the Okinawa archipelago were collectively called Ryukyu or Yuqiu, Ryukyu, and in the Ming Dynasty, the Okinawa archipelago was renamed the Great Ryukyu, and Taiwan was the Little Ryukyu.

At the end of the Wanli Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch set up a city after occupying Taiwan, and the system was Chongtai, and the seashore sand ring water meandered to say the bay, and the boat mooring place was called the bay, so it was called Taiwan, and people transferred the original name of Xiaoliuqiu to Shamaki in the south of Taiwan.

Therefore, in the year of the Apocalypse, people naturally still call Taiwan "Little Liuqiu".

"When are you going to let me go?" Although he was secretly happy in his heart, Li Hongyu couldn't show it, and then asked Youlan urgently, and put on a posture of respecting Xiaoliuqiu.

"Mr. will stay on the island for a while, and when the limelight passes, I will find a time to send him back." Youlan hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and then said to Li Hongyu.

Although Youlan hopes that Li Hongyu can stay in Xiaoliuqiu to teach the local children, she knows better that Li Hongyu is a talented person, and if he stays in Xiaoliuqiu to teach, it will be really overkill, like a dragon trapped in the shallows, so she still decided to find a suitable time to send Li Hongyu away, lest Li Hongyu waste his talent here and waste his time.

"That's good!"

Li Hongyu keenly realized from Youlan's subtle change in expression that things were not so simple, and nodded as if he didn't know, looking relieved.

Seeing that Li Hongyu didn't seem to be willing to stay in Xiaoliuqiu, Youlan's eyes suddenly darkened, she didn't blame Li Hongyu for being prejudiced against Xiaoliuqiu, but because Xiaoliuqiu was lonely overseas, he had a deep relationship with pirates and pirates, so he had to have no good impression of him.

A few days later, Li Hongyu already had an understanding of the people on the boat, and the sturdy young man named Liu Haiying was the playmate of the childhood sweetheart who grew up with Youlan.

Maritime smugglers compete fiercely with each other, often causing large-scale fires because of competing for profits, and at the same time, they will also be attacked by the government, and once they are exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, Youlan's father was worried that his family would be harmed, so he placed his family on Xiaoliuqiu Island and his hometown along the coast, so that even if something happened, he would not be wiped out.

Youlan is the small Liuqiu Island that came down in such a situation, because of its natural beauty and amazing appearance, so it has the reputation of "the first beauty of Little Liuqiu".

Li Hongyu could see at a glance that Liu Haiying was very infatuated with Youlan, otherwise he would not have taken such a big risk to go to Shanghai County to save Youlan, and he did not hesitate to expose the long-hidden Dr. Zhang, and was almost wiped out by the officials and soldiers.

It's a pity that Luohua is intentionally ruthless, Youlan has always regarded Liu Haiying as a brother, there is only family affection and friendship between the two, and there is no love at all, which makes Liu Haiying fall into bitter love alone and become an unrequited infatuated man.

Because Li Hongyu is a famous talent, except for Liu Haiying's cold face to him, the other people on the ship still respect Li Hongyu very much, as a scholar.

Life on the ship is undoubtedly boring, in addition to replenishing water and supplies, drifting on the sea all day long, Li Hongyu can't talk about words and songs with the pirates, but there is one thing he can do, that is, gambling with everyone, especially the Western flower brand "Café de Coral", which is in the limelight.

When Li Hongyu won all the money of the people on the boat, making those who gambled with red eyes want to bet on their lives, Youlan lightly told them that the game of "everyone's fun" was proposed by Li Hongyu, and "Huguang Li Sheng" was Li Hongyu in front of them.

This instantly made those blushing-necked losers lose their gambling interest, and they met the ancestor of the Western flower card for a long time, how can this win.

Of course, Li Hongyu doesn't care about money, he just wants to have fun, and takes the opportunity to get closer to the people on the ship, which will be of great benefit to his future actions.

Therefore, Li Hongyu then returned all the money he won to the people on the ship, which made everyone have a good impression of Li Hongyu, although Li Hongyu is not rare in money, they have become a pirate in the eyes of the world, not just to live a better life, so they naturally value property.

In fact, the people on the boat were not only inferior to Li Hongyu in gambling, but even the amount of alcohol was compared by the "weak scholar" in front of them.

When Li Hongyu drank a few so-called "massive" people in a row, the people on the boat no longer dared to fight with Li Hongyu, and they had a little more intimacy with Li Hongyu, who was staggered and talked and laughed, and everyone liked people with a bold personality like Li Hongyu.

Youlan was very pleased that Li Hongyu could get along with the people on the ship, and since Li Hongyu came, there was gradually a lot of laughter on the ship, which meant that Li Hongyu did not discriminate against those who became pirates.

After all, just like Li Hongyu said, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and if they are not forced to be helpless, no one wants to be a pirate who is spurned and whose life is in danger at any time.

Liu Haiying watched everything on the ship coldly, unlike the cynical Li Hongyu, his personality is more introverted, unlike Li Hongyu, who can get along with everyone, and everyone will not feel pressure in front of Li Hongyu.

"Sea eagle, you have to be careful, this person will even win people's hearts, and when you get to the island, you must take strict care to avoid accidents."

The middle-aged man who was called "Uncle Wang" by Liu Haiying has rich experience, and secretly warned Liu Haiying that people like Li Hongyu are the most dangerous, and he can't guarantee when he will pull the people around Liu Haiying over.

"Hmph, it's just a gentleman, the brothers are just having fun with him, and if you follow him, I'm afraid you won't even know how your life is."

Liu Haiying sneered when he heard this, a trace of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't think so, thinking that Li Hongyu was not a big deal, if he wanted the pirates to follow, he had to see who was more capable of fighting, and it was obvious that Li Hongyu was not his opponent at this point.

The middle-aged man known as "Uncle Wang" squirmed at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and wanted to say something, but when he saw Liu Haiying looking unimpressed, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

He knew Liu Haiying's character, since Liu Haiying didn't take Li Hongyu to heart, if he said more, it would make Liu Haiying feel impatient.
